This procurement, classified under the industry category of Laundry supplies, is currently in the award stage following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was set for 12 noon on 16th April 2018, with the contract period commencing on 14th May 2018 and lasting until 13th May 2019, with options for further extensions based on performance. The procurement, aiming at a contract value of £25,000, pertains to services required in Sheffield, specifically in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. This tender presents a robust opportunity for SMEs in the laundry and textile rental sector to expand their business capabilities by engaging with a significant client like the University of Sheffield. The services sought include the provision, delivery, and collection of laundered linens in a timely manner, making it ideal for companies that can accommodate the variable demands of a large institution, particularly during peak periods such as summer conferences. Businesses that specialise in laundry services, dry cleaning, and washing machine operations will be particularly well positioned to compete effectively for this contract. ## Notice Note: Alternative contract period for bids (ITT amended 23/03/2018) We invite bids on the original contract period of 1 year + optional 3 years + optional 1 year, but if better value can be obtained across a 2 year + optional 2 year + optional 1 year contract, then please detail these costs separately in your bid. This is to offer bidders a higher security option on the contract. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The University of Sheffield Accommodation and Commercial Services (ACS) wishes to appoint a customer facing company for the provision of a linen (Laundry and/or Hire) service who can provide an excellent service that is efficient and reliable. The services provided by the successful contractor are key to those provided to our customers, and as such the University requires a company who can respond to its needs, sometimes at very short notice. The primary business of ACS is the accommodation of its student residents, however during the summer months or in times of lower than anticipated demand for this accommodation, it also operates an ever expanding conference service and business. It is this business which requires the laundering of ACS's owned linen and furnishings (e.g. sheets, towels, curtains), and also the hire of linen (e.g. sheets and towels). Whilst the majority of the business requirement is currently through the summer months, there may also be an ad-hoc requirements during term time laundering. Such summer business can vary from conferences of a few hundred people, to 3000+, however the larger conferences are often planned with at least 1 years' notice. The service to be provided will include the provision of linen (hire and potentially purchase), delivery and collection to and from specific agreed locations. Minimum notification times will be agreed between the parties. The contract is based on an initial 1 year, followed by an optional further 3 years, and optional final 1 year, subject to satisfactory performance.
